Does installing a CAI system void any warrnanty? I want to install a CAI system, but I don't want to remove anything thus being afraid of voiding the warranty ... Do I have anything to worry about? My car has about 20,450 miles on it ...

 

nope not that i have ever heard of mine went to and from the dealler a few times with it installed they never said a word.

Also if you are worried of this etc.... save the old stuff and reinstall it if you have to take the car back to the dealer for work.
but they never said a word for it.
from the understanding i got from this is if you do a APPROVED modifcation and it dose not hurt the car but in turn helps it they will not void it. BUT if they can prove that somethign you have done has voided the warrenty due to it being a part you installed and it caused damage they will not cover it.

A CAI- is nothign more then a fancy air cleaner in the reality of this whole thing. SO if you do it and you do it right where there is nothing that is tore up or not mounted correctly then you ahve not harmed anythign under the hood of the car. then you havent husrt your warrenty by making it easier to breath for the car.

 

Here is some awesome information about the law in regards to the use of Aftermarket Parts on a warranted vehicle.

Warranty Denied?

The enclosed materials are intended to help youshould you have a vehicle warranty claim denied in circumstances in which an aftermarket product has been used. The information describes the law on vehicle warranties and will provide a sense of what is and is not an improper warranty denial. After reviewing this information, you will be aware of the steps to take to fight unlawful warranty denials. In many cases it will not be necessary to take all the steps outlined here because disputes are often resolved at an early stage. What Does the Warranty Actually Say? Start by re-reading the warranty documents. Become familiar with what the documents actually say, not what you think they should say. If the language is confusing, get help in understanding what it really means. Look for specific items or circumstances that may or may not be covered. Determine if there is a process specified for resolving disputes. The Law Federal law sets forth requirements for warranties and contains a number of provisions to prevent vehicle manufacturers, dealers and others from unjustly denying warranty coverage. With regard to aftermarket parts, the spirit of the law is that warranty coverage cannot be denied simply because such parts are present on the vehicle, or have been used (see Attachment A).The warranty coverage can be denied only if the aftermarket part caused the malfunction or damage for which warranty coverage is sought. Disputes in this area usually boil down to arguments over facts and technical opinions, rather than arguments over interpretations of the law. Check Vehicle History Sometimes a malfunction in a new vehicle may be identified as a "pattern failure," a failure that is recognized as common to your make and model of vehicle. It may be a manufacturing defect which has become the subject of a government-mandated recall. You should check with another dealer, the vehicle manufacturer or an independent service providersuch as those listed belowto see if there are any Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs), field fixes or other service-related information for your vehicle which would indicate that the problem you are experiencing is a common one. In cases of government-mandated recalls, the dealer is obliged to notify you as a vehicle owner. However, you may check for yourself by calling the vehicle manufacturer's 800 number, the EPA (for emissions systems issues) or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), for safety-related issues.[*]EPA: 202/233-9040[*]NHTSA: 800/424-9393[*]Chiltons: 610/964-4600[*]AllData: 916/684-5200[*]Motor Publications: 800/426-6897[*]American Automobile Manufacturers Association: 313/872-4311[*]Japanese Automobile Manufacturers Association: 202/296-8537 [/ul] Determine the True Cause of the Problem If possible, attempt to independently verify the accuracy of the claims made by the dealership. The manufacturer of the aftermarket part may be helpful to you in providing a technical assessment of the problem. If there is a reasonable possibility that the aftermarket product caused the problem, it may be best to try to reach a compromise. If, however, it is clear that the aftermarket product is unrelated to the problem, you should attempt to gather as much information as possible to support your claim. Useful evidence might include photos, copies of relevant service information, records of prior repairs performed under warranty, or the objective written opinion of a qualified third party (with relevant experience, accreditation, etc.). Try to Work it Out With the Dealer Once prepared with the appropriate support information and a basic understanding of the law, pr
